The President is unwell. PBS comments: “his remarks were rambling and incoherent,” in multiple appearances. The Guardian calls some of his speeches “baffling” and “weirder than ever.” Cambridge analysis says that his statements often require “translation” or annotation to make sense.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” Jane Goodall

Dem messaging right now should be this, loud and clear: "The GOP would rather shut down the government than let the American people have affordable healthcare." On repeat and everywhere.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

I’ve been on a fair amount of islands around the world and the ones in Greece are unmatched. I’ve pretty much exhausted most of my pics in here so you’re about to receive a steady stream of these pics once they’re processed. Cleanest water I’ve ever experienced. Sorry NZ and Caribbean.

What an amazing life life. Rest in peace, wonderful human.

This is very, very bad.

I don’t know about you but I’m beginning to hate the words ‘for now.’

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.

Correction: FOREVER.

I wish I could believe this.

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time? BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

Fuck you Fetterman, Cortez-Masto, & Angus Kin !! @fetterman.senate.gov @cortezmasto.senate.gov

I don’t know about you all but I’m NOT ‘used to it’ and I never will be. My dream: the generals who know full well that their oath is not to a man who wants to be king, but rather to the Constitution, will rise up when bidden and remove this traitor from the White House.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.” - Judge William Young, September 30, 2025

Thanks to @categreenwood1971.bsky.social for a glorious book that details every smile, frown, sadness, and question that is Good Omens, demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale, thru the ages

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Nooooooooooo

Don't you dare back down @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

If I ever hear MAGA say "America first", then why is Trump giving $20 BILLION to Argentina's authoritarian government? #ThisisTrumpsShutdown #ProudBlue

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Schumer equals pathetic.

Can we get the TN 07 Dem primary election some attention? @ariellaelm.bsky.social @jesscraven101.bsky.social @whatdemsaredoing.bsky.social @ptcontagion.bsky.social @gotmtv.bsky.social @swingbluealliance.org @demcast.com @charlesgaba.com @trumpstaxes.com @meidastouch.com

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Ah….normal.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Chicago ICE attempted to apprehend a random delivery guy, but the delivery guy’s impressive escaping skills proved to be too much for the goons

Okay, two can play this game. Kathy Hochul...NY is up next.

COMING UP at 2 pm: We’ll go live on Substack and YouTube to discuss the Comey indictment. Join us! ⬇️

Exactly!!!! How low will Ciattarelli go? #voteblue #NJ

Dumb as dirt.

Really? Of course the felon does. We’ve known this since he promised ppl that they’d never have to vote again.

Some countries manage to get it right. Let’s see if we can in 13 months. PS. I hate to be so cynical but after what I have seen in my fairly long lifetime, I tend to doubt it.

Louder for those in the back.

I am so over Ezra Klein.

In short, they have all been schooled by the Federalist Society to advocate for a “unitary executive” aka a king.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Goodbye and good riddance

Protector...of pedophiles.

I'm not worried about Dearborn. But I am worried about so-called Christians who believe Jesus Christ was white (he was not) and think gay men should be stoned to death.
